I do not think the "triggers" are that important in a fly.
I think it makes it easier for the fish to see, and if a fly looks like food, acts like food, occur where you expect to find food, then it is probably food.
The darker colors makes it easier for the fish to see.
If you look at damsels, lovely, small, well camouflaged insects.
Most of what I have seen occurred between water grass and plants, very well camouflaged.
So, a dark brown or black is easier to see for the fish.
Add triggers and it is even easier to see for the fish.
Remember fish inspects food with its eyes and mouth.
So, if the eyes spots the food, the mouth will taste to eat it
